Wow, Team USA got away with a goaltender interference penalty on our 3rd goal. Jack Johnson has been brutal. His penalty led to the 1st German goal. His bad pinch led to the 1st Canadian goal and his giveaway led to the Toews PS. I also think he was responsible for the 2nd or 3rd Canadian goal.

Pathetic showing by Team USA. I guess all the boys are content with their college scholarships and 1st round draft status. Canada wanted it more. It was exemplified by the 5th Canadian goal where some anonymous Canadian outskated EJ to the puck. Disgraceful. No national pride, only selfish agendas.

Draftnik - USA Hockey needs to get back to the style of Herb Brooks. Is there any former American hockey star who can rip the organization in the media and possibly do something to change the course of its direction.

I'm talking someone who not only could talk from playing experience but could step in and do what Herb did as a coach. There has to be someone in US willing to take that stand.

An American hockey star that isn't afraid to say something unpopular in the media? TAKE YOUR PICK. Roenick. Hull. Chelios. Tkachuk probably has a chip on his shoulder. What about Modano, he complains enough any time he gets touched..?
